Kinder - Who We Are
Provocation
In small groups students worked as a team to get the hoop around a circle without letting go of hands and lowered the hoop to the ground without letting go. The aim was for the students to understand that teamwork is important for groups to work.
Finding Out
Kinder then explored the different ways we can be grouped.
- Boys and girls
- Hair colour
- Favourite colour
This prompted the question “Can you be in a group if you are the only one?”
Phoebe was the only November birthday in Kinder Red.
Spencer was the only one with red hair in Kinder White.
We even discovered that we can group objects of the same number!
Sorting Out
Kinder then discussed the types of groups that they belong to. We discovered that we belong to many groups. We explored our responsibilities in each group that we belong to. They discovered that some of their responsibilities were the same at home as they were at school!
Throughout our unit of inquiry we explored what it means to be caring, principled and balanced when being apartof a group.
